Gustavo Villar I know a mom with quadruplets. Disposable diapers were a lifesaver for her while they were younger (0 to 12 month) but she tried cloth diapers at first to save money. Issue was that a lot of daycares won’t use cloth diapers and the convenience outweighed the amount of prep she had to do for 4 little ones. Now that the babies are a little bit older, she’s back on cloth diapers because they don’t soil themselves as often. She also makes her own baby food. But with multiples, sometimes convenience wins.

The major problem with zero waste is that most supermarkets have long since transitioned into a plastic packaging standard (which is literally poisoning us, our environment, and animals). The only supermarket I have seen near me which allows you to bring your own home containers and fill them up with unpackaged foods is Lucky's Market, and this is in a city where there are at least 8 or more supermarket chains near me. Another issue is that you can't always trust Farmer's Markets. Firstly, not only can they be more expensive than grocery store food, but there are scum that will buy food from supermarkets, "unwrap" them, then sell them for a higher price at a Farmer's Market. It's very difficult to be zero waste, and it'll continue to be like that until SOMETHING changes.

Making baby food is the simplest way to be zero waste with a baby! Cloth diapers/wipes are great as well. I made all of my son's food and it was so simple! You just boil everything you want in water and then strain the food solids out. You use the stock from what you boiled to break down anything too thick for your blender. Use ice cube trays to freeze your baby food and then store it in ziploc bags. It's usually good for 6 months! Just throw in a pot and go. You can use rice cereal or oatmeal cereal later, both are able to be made at home. I appreciate the honesty in this video 😍

The liners were easier to wash . The diapers went into a hot wash once a week and I never had to worry about running out. I admit, I did use rubber gloves to deal with any ick factor. I also used glass bottles when I wasn’t breast feeding. They went straight into the dishwasher. I love the knitted wool soaker that she has one her wee one.

I try to be a zero waste as possible, if I bring my own snacks to work or somewhere I use containers versus plastic bags, I reuse plastic silverware, and I’ve invested in quite a few water bottles and travel cups. Even at work I try to use as little plastic bags for customers as possible. Instead of giving them a bag for ONE or two little things, I always ask if they want one. It’s not a lot, but it’s something.

RV Menagerie great choice. Make sure you enjoy the process and don’t put too much pressure on yourself to start with cloth right away. There is so much to learn when you bring home a baby, and once you get into the swing of it, using cloth nappies easily fits into the routine of the day but it can be a bit to get your head around to start off with. Have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to use a combination of disposables/ cloth nappies if that suits you as well. It’s not all or nothing! Every bit helps the environment.

It depends on how efficient the washer and household is, but the two forms of waste can be debated and compared. The more efficient the washer and green the power source, the less taxing. When compared to the astronomical waste problem disposable diapers create, though, it can be argued that even running a crappy washer like a fiend still carries less of a footprint than disposables.

It's not really 'waste' if the water is being used purposefully. Letting the water run while brushing your teeth is waste. As water is renewable (since it recycles itself) is a better option, in comparison to the damage and waste created by the disposable diapers that accumulate in landfills. Did you know they can still be viewed by the naked eye even after 250+ years? During that time, a ton of water can naturally filter through the ecosystem and replenish itself😊
